Thankful Thursday: The privilege to ponder

On this Thankful Thursday I want to say thank you to all of you who take the time to follow this blog, and to those of you who offer comments. THANK YOU!

Lately I've been thinking about those of us who are afforded the time to think about, and write about, the lives of our ancestors, to research their backgrounds, and to find documents providing evidence of their history. I am very grateful that I have been given the privilege to ponder the lives of those who have gone before me. In this post, together with my sincere thanks to you, I offer a few shots of some of my favourite places from the land of my family, Ireland. Click on the photographs to view larger versions. I hope that you enjoy them.

Thanks so much for sharing these BEAUTIFUL images from your homeland...very inspiring. I share your thoughts as to this privilege of exploring our family's history...and need to be reminded of that privilege when the research seems to be endless and perhaps unproductive.

Thanks for very much for your comments; I really appreciate each and every one. I've been 'unwired' for most of the day (no computer access, no mobile phone, no iPad); sorry to be late in thanking you.

Thank you for viewing today's post.

Leave a comment, if you feel so inclined; I really appreciate comments. Also, when you have a moment check out the blog archive or click on 'Older Posts' to have a look at topics from the past. I hope the sun is shining on your part of the world today. Cheers! Jennifer
